About Me
Dr. Jennifer M. Reckrey is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. She is a health services researcher and geriatrician who provides primary care to people at home as part of the Mount Sinai Visiting Doctors Program.
Dr. Reckrey’s research explores the ways in which home-based models of clinical and long-term care support people with dementia and other serious illnesses living in the community. In particular, she is interested in the role that paid caregivers like home health aides and personal care attendants play in the home-based dementia care team and how this direct care matters for care recipients, their families, and the medical care system. She was awarded the Dan Gilden Creative Investigator Award by the American Academy of Home Care Medicine in 2021 in recognition of her innovative approach to studying full spectrum of care, services, and supports that enable those with functional impairment to remain living at home.
